June 27, 2012New York

On June 27, The Paulson Institute and Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization behind the Sesame Street TV program, convened a panel of experts at Sesame Workshop’s headquarters in New York to discuss the launch of a children’s education outreach program focused on urban sustainability and conservation. Experts discussed the importance of educating the next generation and fostering a sense of stewardship for the environment as the key to successfully protecting the environment globally. Partnering with The Paulson Institute and Sesame Workshop to implement the program in China will be the China Association of Mayors and the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, led by former Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan. The specific program will be rolled out in December 2012 during the Paulson Institute’s annual urban sustainability seminar in Beijing.
